Large, Earth bound tornadoes are pretty impressive weather events.
大型地球龍卷風的天氣現象讓人印象深刻。
Those dark, giant funnel clouds inspire much awe and fear.

But they’re nothing compared to so called solar tornadoes solar gases swirling in monstrous formations deep within the sun’s atmosphere,
但這無法跟太陽能龍卷風相提并論,太陽能龍卷風是在太陽大氣層深處形成的巨型太陽氣體漩渦,
measuring the width of several Earths and spinning at up to 190,000 miles per hour.
其寬度相當于幾個地球,其旋轉速度高達每小時19萬英里。
Scientists have known about solar tornadoes for some time.
對于太陽能龍卷風,科學家已經了解了一段時間。
But just recently they’ve captured a massive one on camera for the first time.
然而最近,他們首次用相機捕捉到一次大型太陽能龍卷風。
Unlike earthly tornadoes, which consist of powerful swirling winds,
與地球龍卷風不同,太陽能龍卷風并非由強大的旋風形成,
solar tornadoes are magnetic events involving super heated gasses being sucked up from the sun towards its atmosphere.
而是太陽能大氣層吸收超熱氣體所產生的一種磁力現象。
